A pattern of negative posts about the BBC - Feddit UK
feddit.uk
There seems to be a clear pattern of negative posts about the BBC. Certain accounts are at it on a daily basis. I find myself wondering why. Some motives for such behaviour I could think of are: - The BBC wrote a story that hurt them - Reporting did not reinforce their world view - They expected the BBC to be perfect and inevitable failures to meet that standard lead to disappointment - They found the style of reporting annoying - Perhaps some reporters were annoying I’m sure that list is nowhere near exhaustive as my imagination is rather limited. A cynic might think that something deeper is going on, for example, a systematic campaign to erode trust in the BBC. Perhaps such a campaign is not just limited to feddit.uk [http://feddit.uk] communities, as mightily influential as they are, and could be happening across social media. Such a cynical person might further wonder what groups, organisations, or perhaps even states with well resourced intelligence organisations might want to mount such a campaign. I’m not a cynic, and as mentioned don’t have much of an imagination, so such thoughts don’t even cross my mind. I’m simply wondering why some people hate the BBC so much. For me it, with all its failings, is one of the best public broadcasting organisations in the world.

Can I have a :uk-cool: emoji my Hexbear comrades?

    Love how this nerd just doesn’t engage with any of the TERF stuff or Zionism and just puts his hands up in the air and goes “whelp, them’s the times!”.

    No, jackass, it doesn’t have to be the times. The BBC helps to reinforce a right wing backlash and ideological view on the entire Atlantic garbage patch. The BBC is complicit and abetting in apartheid and transgender segregation, and that’s an abhorrent thing. Nobody’s really falling for your schtick of pretending it’s simply showing all sides, there aren’t all sides to these matters.

    If they were showing all sides, they’d show a truly working class side of matters, but they only really show bourgeois/rich views on these matters, leaving the only acceptable debate on TV to be between two sides of the views of the rich which don’t make any sense for the vast majority of BBC viewers, working class people.
